HP's return to innocence

Lucius didn't know how Dumbledore dealt with Harry Potter, let alone what Dumbledore wanted from the orphan of the Potter family.But he knew, the unknown, especially when it was related to "high-level" figures like the leader of the White Wizard and the savior who defeated the Dark Lord.

"Draco..." The platinum nobleman regretted that he shouldn't have encouraged the little dragon to fight against the savior.

Because Fudge desperately wants to break free from Dumbledore's control, taking advantage of this, the Malfoy family has recovered some of its strength, but Hogwarts is Dumbledore's territory after all, even if the Malfoy family is the school director, they will hand over the big family every year. After Pen Gallon, he was still unable to interfere in any school affairs.

If Dumbledore only treats Potter as an ordinary child, then he should not interfere too much with the conflict between Drake and Potter, but if he still has any "expectations" for the savior, then Drake is in danger .

"Father, the savior is probably a Gryffindor. I don't want to get entangled with him." Although he didn't know what his father had misunderstood, Draco felt that it would be better to speak up.

And this made Lucius even more guilty, as a father, he even had to let his son wrong him: "My little dragon." He hugged Draco: "Malfoy always has the last laugh. "

"Yes, father." Draco also hugged his father back, because with him, Malfoy must have the last laugh!

On August [-]st, the opportunity for change that Drake needed was delivered by an owl.So Drake started his second step of the plan that afternoon, counting the property he owns at this stage.

Once, Drake established a correct concept of financial management only after he officially became the patriarch.

Before that, or more correctly, before Voldemort took over the Malfoy Manor, as a young master who could put forward any conditions to his parents, and [-]% of them could be fulfilled, Draco had only two concepts of Gallon: First, Garen can buy things; second, his family has many, many Galleons.

His parents even opened a vault for him in Gringotts alone, and until the two of them were both imprisoned, the Galleons in that vault remained at five figures.

He even once believed that managing money is frugality, and frugality is stinginess, and stinginess is of course the characteristic of poor people and cheapskates.Therefore, before he became an adult, he never calculated how much pocket money he had.So he got used to being extravagant and extravagant, even after he became the patriarch, he was still like this in the first year-even at that time, he didn't spend the money on himself, but used it to feed hungry wolves.

And it was those hungry wolves who taught him that not everything can be bought with money, you may pay a lot, but still not get any results you want...

Drake had already written a letter to Gringotts, indicating that he wanted to confirm the balance of gold coins in his vault.And already received a reply: 17 galleons, 450 six nats, and 130 seven sickles.Unbeknownst to Drake himself, he was already a rich man before he became an adult.

And today, when he received that opportunity, he started to organize his room, storage room, toy room, and storage room.

The elf carried things and sorted them according to Draco's instructions, while Draco stood aside, counting and counting with a notebook and a quill.

"What are you doing, my darling?" Narcissa was supposed to be attending a small salon, to say goodbye to Draco, only to see his son commanding the elves to make a mess of his own room.

"I'm learning to keep accounts, mother."

"calculate?"

"Yes, look what I have now."

"You own the whole world, my baby." Narcissa kissed Xiaolong's forehead, "But Xiaolong, mother is very curious, why did you suddenly have such an idea, or who made you have such a dream?" idea?"

"It's Tom."

"Tom? Who is he?"

"Tom Alston? Who is that?" At night, after Lucius came back, he asked the same thing about this strange name.

"Little Dragon's pen pal."

"Pen pal?" Lucius felt that he had a lot of questions today.

"Yes, American."

"Then it might really be the Alston family. I didn't expect them to continue on that barbaric land."

Alston (Alston) This is a native British surname, meaning a person of noble birth.Of course, no family is more noble than the Malfoys - by all Malfoys.In fact, the Alstons - when the family hadn't disappeared from England - they were only slightly worse than the Malfoys.

But in terms of difficulty in procreating offspring, they were indeed on par with the Malfoys, and even won in the end - the Alstons were extinct.The huge property of the Alston family in the UK was shared by all their in-laws, among which the Malfoy family took the largest piece.

"I just watched it a long time ago as a pastime. About 400 years ago, or even longer ago, in short, there was no Azkaban at that time. The way the magic world dealt with the heinous ones was to exile them to America—— It seems that Muggles did the same at that time. There was once a little guy from the Alston family who killed the Minister of Magic at the time, but the family still saved his life, but let him board a ship to America. Of course, it might not be him. But how did Drake find an American pen pal?"

""Daily Prophet"" Narcissa took out the torn newspaper... At the edge of the seam, Lucius saw the title "Looking for a Pen Pal" on the top. Introduction, and looking down, Lucius found Tom Alston.

He occupies a larger area than others, and there is a photo of a kid smiling silly.

Lucius stared at the smirking boy for a while, and finally cut out the photo with scissors: "I will verify the boy's identity through a partner who has business dealings with the United States."

"Aren't you going to stop?"

"Judging from what Xiaolong did today, the influence of this pen pal is obviously not negative. Moreover, this is also the first time Xiaolong took the initiative to establish a friendship with a stranger..."

"What a forgiving father."

"Thank you for the compliment."

"It's unimaginable that a few days ago you were still crying and saying 'my son doesn't share little secrets with me anymore', I thought I could see you crying and saying 'my son is actually dating someone else behind his father's back', really Sorry." Narcissa pinched her throat and made a crying face.

"Sissy!" Lucius looked at his wife angrily.

Narcissa smiled and left Lucius' study like a young girl.And when Lucius was the only one left in the room, he took out the photo again, and this time his eyes were not as harmless as before.

"Tom Alston, you'd better pray that everything is true, or else..."

Poor Alstom, who was far away in the United States, was happily looking forward to the reply from his pen pal, but suddenly his back felt cold and he sneezed.

Draco Malfoy, whose soul is 37 years old, is not a reckless person. In such a dangerous time, even if he needs to find a shield for himself, it is impossible to just find someone as a pen pal.

In fact, he knew Alston, only after he was 20 years old. The young patriarch of the Alston family, who was four years older than him, was his biggest partner and best friend later, and advised him several times Transfer the family to the United States.He hadn't informed Scorpius of his funeral, nor had he died.When he learned of his death from Gringotts in the United States and saw the will, how would he feel?

In short, after seeing that guy's iconic and deceptive smirk on the "Daily Prophet"-he obviously has a face that isn't too bad, but he always smiles stupidly-De On the one hand, Lak needs to find someone who knows the basics, and on the other hand, he also has a trace of guilt and wants to rebuild their friendship.

He thought that soon after his mother found out that he had a pen pal, his father would show up and ask him specific questions about the pen pal.But several days passed, and Draco had sorted out all the information about his property.Although Lucius would come to him occasionally, but he just said hello on a regular basis, or pointed out the problems he encountered in bookkeeping, and did not mention Alstom.

Draco was a little puzzled, but quickly guessed that Lucius probably had checked Alston's background, and he seemed satisfied, and had accepted the existence of this pen pal.

Next, Drake took a list and found his mother.

"A charity auction? What's that?"

"Auction off old things that are not needed, and use all the proceeds to charity, that is to say, to help the poor."

"Poor people?! Like the Weasleys?"

"Like the Weasleys." Draco nodded.

"..." Narcissa's expression froze for a few seconds, "Are you feeling a little uncomfortable today, Xiaolong?"

"I feel fine today, mother."

"But you just said that we will use our money to help... Weasley?"

"Give me 5 minutes, let me explain it to you, and then it's up to you to take my advice."

"Okay." Narcissa sighed, expressing her willingness to listen, and 5 minutes later, Narcissa Malfoy went to the women's party with a smile on her face.

The lives of noble women in the magic world are actually very boring and empty.

They don’t need to run around for a living. What they have to do every day is to wander between major salons and banquets, discuss fashion trends in clothing and hairstyles with their close friends, and study whether the new boy adopted by Mrs. The husband and his wife happen to have a crush on the same guy or something.

But whether it's beautiful or ugly, it's just those things after all.Then, Narcissa Malfoy suddenly appeared in a salon with a mysterious smile and brought them something new.

It was also from that day on that all the ladies suddenly became energetic and became busy and active.

A shop in Diagon Alley that originally belonged to the Malfoy family was suddenly hidden, and it was said that it was being renovated.Of course, ordinary people don't care about these, at most they are just a little curious.

Then half a month before the start of Hogwarts, major newspapers and magazines received an invitation letter for a maternal love charity auction.

They don't know what a charity auction is, but look at the list of participants behind the auction—headed by Mrs. Malfoy and Mrs. Zabini, almost all noble ladies are listed on it, even if the auction will be auctioned Nothing good can come out, but they can also dig out gossip from the mouths of these gossip-loving ladies that can fill the pages of newspapers for a year.

Therefore, of course, these media organizations have organized capable personnel to participate.

And the location of the auction was the second floor of the Malfoy's shop.

On the day of the auction, the store reappeared in front of people, and the name of the store has become Maternal Love.The entire storefront is dominated by pink, white and light yellow, as is the interior.

The first floor of the store has already placed simple commodities, but there are old clothes, old books, old toys and other second-hand goods sold there, even if these things are well preserved, after all, apart from books, many nobles The items have only been used a few times, and they have been carefully cared for by the elves, but this still doesn't change the fact that they are second-hand.

What surprised the reporters even more was that standing behind the counter, wearing simple clothes, turned out to be the wives of two pure-blood noble families.

The surprise didn't end there, they soon received a brochure about the charity auction.

According to the brochure, the auction will be organized and publicized, to collect items, to arrange various matters of the auction, and even from the auctioneer to the guides in the auction, all are completed by these noble ladies. No staff was employed, nor was any payment received.

And all the proceeds from the auction will be used for charity, especially to help those students who have academic difficulties, the elderly who have no one to take care of, and even... Squibs who live in difficulty.

Of course, these works are also done by these ladies themselves, and they are still free of charge. The monthly expenses and income will be posted on the glass door of the store, and anyone can check them.

After reading this, the reporters who wanted to dig out the gossip with a teasing heart felt a little guilty, and couldn't help but become a little solemn.

After all, the situation in the British wizarding world has not been very good in recent years.There is no problem for wizards wanting to live, and it is not very difficult to have a full stomach, but other than that, it is "a bit" difficult to live better and eat better.Even for some difficult families, the daily food is only potato soup.

Of course, these noble ladies may just be putting on a show, but they also said that they also welcome the supervision of reporters, so even if it's a show, it can help those in need to some extent, right?
